@Federico BuenoWith 6 bedrooms, your house hack has huge income potential, and you have multiple ways to maximize cash flow.

Are you considering doing all cash, or do you want to finance? 

I tend to invest more in South Abilene and many in Wylie ISD but have seen investments produce good cash flow all over Abilene. 

Cash flow is definitely the biggest challenge; both in terms of finding properties to buy that cash flow with a loan on them and just company wide given interest rates and labor/material is up and, at least where I'm at in Jackson County, MO, taxes are way up too. 

I went from growing up in a hut in Vietnam and spending my early years in Section 8 housing in the U.S. to now owning four cash-flowing properties (8 units) across three states.

There are ways to invest in real estate without using your own cash upfront.

We're having to reorient our entire portfolio and sell pretty much all our big houses and condos because they don't cash flow anymore. 

However, it’s important to ensure the seller is comfortable with the terms and that the property cash flow can support the agreed-upon monthly payments.Seller financing can be a good strategy to grow your portfolio with less initial capital, especially if you're able to increase the property's value through improvements (forcing appreciation).

Hopefully you raked in enough cash to buy a warm jacket!

You didn't write how much 'sweat equity' you put into this place, but it was likely well worth it given the $400K cash out.
